Mission:

Africa Volunteer Corps’ mission is to nurture a generation of African leaders dedicated to strengthening homegrown development by providing opportunities for practical training and job placement.

The overarching goal of Africa Volunteer Corps is to harness the power of motivated, educated Africans and put it to use for locally-initiated development projects in Africa, opening doors for Africans to leverage their own resources and strengthening grassroots development efforts.

Creating a springboard for leaders and bolstering ground-up social change efforts, we position Africans to drive development on their own continent.

Get Involved

Are you passionate about the future of Africa? Are you a self-starter who likes being given a project and running with it? Do you want to gain hands-on experience in development, working with a small, startup nonprofit?

As an Ambassador, you can choose to focus on raising awareness, raising funds, or both. You can spend as little or as much time as you’d like per week as an Ambassador, and can work with our team to develop goals and a work plan.

As an Intern, you can come work at our office in Tanzania, or stay right where you are and work with us remotely. Check out the current internship positions for which we are hiring, or talk to us about designing your own internship. We’re always looking for new passionate, hard-working folks to join our team.
